Eerste versierde stellage met toneel: ontvangst van de vredelievende prins, 1577 1577 - 1578

This is a detailed engraved design for a stage set, created by Antoni van Leest in 1577-1578. The scene depicts a procession of figures, likely an allegorical representation of peace. The elaborate architecture includes columns, a draped archway, and ornate decorative elements, typical of the period. The print likely served as a guide for constructing a stage set for a play or theatrical production. The title, "Eerste versierde stellage met toneel: ontvangst van de vredelievende prins," indicates this is the first of a series of designs for decorative stage sets, depicting the welcoming of a peaceful prince. Van Leest's design reveals the complexity and artistry employed in staging theatrical productions during the late 16th century.
